After the Penn State series, the Colonials have an off week, and then a holiday home-and-home with Mercyhurst. The Lakers will come to Neville Island on Black Friday, Nov. 23, and the Colonials will play in Erie the on Saturday, Nov. 24.

The first half wraps up with a road series at Sacred Heart Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 and a visit from Holy Cross Dec. 7 and 8.

Coming out of the break, the Colonials will visit AIC on Dec. 29 and 30 before hosting the Three Rivers Classic on Jan. 4 and 5. Robert Morris will play Brown in one semifinal, with St. Cloud State and Union matching up on the other side of the bracket. The times and venues for those games are still to be determined.

Back in conference action, Robert Morris hosts Bentley Jan. 11 and 12, visits Canisius Jan. 18 and 19 and then makes the long trip to Air Force Jan. 25 and 26 for a chance at redemption against the team that ended their 2017-18 season in the AHC Tournament final.
